      Oh ok, basically air-temp sensor maybe not so much for freezing evap core but for auto-HVAC purposes? Regardless, I'm sure you'll figure it out easy enough.

        Lots of new cars have them, especially ones with TXV valves. They just monitor the temp of the evap box.

        I think there was a bad batch on 09-12 Fusions because I've done quite a few of them. Of course you have to pull the whole dash to get to it...

          Yeah more modern A/C systems are some sorts of black magic to me, I'm kinda stuck in the stone age with the orifice tubes and stuff, lol

            It's a shame they went away from those older systems... So much better.

            Even my wife bitched that the AC in our 2015 Enclave is so so.

                  I know I am gonna get a bunch of hate for this but it's happening. I cut and sectioned bumper filler pieces so they are flush with the body. Not sure what I am gonna do with the tail lights yet as the bulbs don't quite line up with holes in the body.

                    Yep.

                    Not from me, I like it. In my opinion Ford should have continued the 2 door through '91.

                      I just figured out what you did. I would hate if I were smarter, but since I am not; I appreciate the work you're doing! Always look forward to reading threads like these.

                        That actually looks really cool! I remember someone had a LTD CV coupe with an '88-'91 front clip and it was sharp. Figured someone would do the same with Grand Marq sooner or later. +1 should've built the two doors all the way until the box gen ended.

                          Cool. I think the final product will be killer looking.

                            Once all those little trim bits get worked out, I think the Aero clips will look killer on that car. It'll match the profile of it pretty well.

                                Use the older style tail lights and see if that works. I think it would look great.
